Yeah, the tracker has been up for a while. Still waiting on the site. Of course, Demonoid was down for a whole year once so I'm checking the site about once a week.

Guess swarms will get bigger when the site is up and the word gets up :D

Re: Demonoid is Alive, The Tracker Has Returned

You all know this:

Maintenance

Edit: There are some rumors about the site shutting down for good and we starting a new tracker next year. the rumors are of course, lies. There are no plans of shutting down or creating another site.

And there is NO official twitter/facebook/any other web community page for Demonoid. There are a few around that were created by fans and have no link to the site or staff.
The parts of the site code that got deleted are being rewritten and should be ready soon. We are also working to try and minimise the data loss as much as possible.

Thanks for your patience.
The site will return as soon as possible, but there was a problem that caused data loss and the person who can help us get the data back is not able to help at this moment. The site will return when we can get his help

A loss of a some months worth of activity including registered users and torrent submissions is to be expected because the backup we are hoping to get back is not up to date, so please be prepared for it

So, patience my children, patience :)

What the hell happened?

This article is nearly a month old, and there are still no signs of improvements in terms of Demonoid. Is the tracker still running? Are there any members here who still have Demonoid torrents active that could tell us whether the tracker is still up? And if it is, what the hell is up with the site when the tracker has been working fine for nearly a month?

Something about this just seems off. Hoping for the best I guess.

Parts of the site are still being rebuilt, hopefully ready in a couple of weeks.

No one said the site is working, only tracker is working, be optimistic, there are too many pessimists around here already...

Re: Demonoid is Alive, The Tracker Has Returned

Demonoid being down has sure turned at lot of bashing into praise and desire for it to get back up.

Some people like it, some people loath it... This is so with quite a lot of things.

Re: Demonoid is Alive, The Tracker Has Returned

Just when I thought checking daily to see if it is back up and running was excessive, I get news like this to feed my hope and scale up my visits to a sadly optimistic level!

Re: Demonoid is Alive, The Tracker Has Returned

My torrents are still up and running. The tracker seems ok.

It's been a long downtime and I'll be happy to have it back.

The tracker is up for me too! Some good news at least, now it's possible to finish those Demonoid torrents mistakenly set to "private" without adding extra tracker URLs or patching uTorrent.

Re: Demonoid is Alive, The Tracker Has Returned

You don't need the tracker. DHT and Peer Exchange will get you all the peers you need. I actually delete the trackers from all the public torrents I download (and I don't even use PEX, I only use DHT).

Re: Demonoid is Alive, The Tracker Has Returned

On unpopular torrents you could be shooting yourself in the foot by deleting the trackers. If there are only one or two (tracked) seeds and neither of them allow DHT, then you don't get your file. Or you could get 1-2 3KB/s seeders through DHT, while the others which you delete seed on 100Mbit.

I don't have DHT on in Vuze, so I use uTorrent for public torrents to get the best of both worlds.

Re: Demonoid is Alive, The Tracker Has Returned

Fair point. On the small minority of torrents that causes a problem with I go to torrentz.eu and get an up-to-date list of the trackers which are tracking that torrent at that time.

EDIT. The point I was trying to make was that the number of torrents for which the one and only source of seeds/peers is the Demonoid tracker is pretty well 0. It's a public tracker and just because it might not work that shouldn't stop anyone from being able to complete downloading their torrents.

Yes, thanx, I did try, I have to use a proxy from here to get there, and then beta doesn't work on a proxy......

Thanx, appreciate that! And actually, you know what?!? The particular torrent I'd been after DID actually connect to 2 seeders on DHT, and was able to complete it in 5 hours. Slow, but eventually got it :)

Thanx, yes, actually I agree with you, the way demonoid has been lately I leave them on too, I'm not the only one either, reading demonoid forums, many people leave them on as well, (tracker blocked in their countries o¿r by server as well)

Great, thanx for the advice, appreciated!!!
